“Stop yelling!” I hissed, trying to pull away. “My God, you’re so loud.”
“That’s because this is HUGE!” Remi said, her voice anything but quiet. “Tell us everything. When did it happen? How did it happen? Did he—oh my god, was he good?”
“Remi!” I groaned, burying my face in my hands.
“Don’t you dare hide now,” Sydney said, sliding off the bed to join us on the rug. “You can’t drop a bomb like that and then try to disappear. Start talking.”
They were both staring at me now, eyes wide with anticipation. I sighed, lowering my hands, knowing there was no escaping this.
“Fine,” I mumbled. “It was yesterday when you guys were still at Jax’s after the club.”
“Oh my God, that’s so opportunistic of you, slutty Soh,” Remi whispered, clutching her heart.
“Do not call me that.” I laughed,
“Are you not?” Remi questioned.
“If you’re only a slut for one person, are you still a slut?” I contemplated.
“See we always ask therealquestions here maybe we really are women in STEM after all!” Sydney laughed.
“He kissed me here in this very room guys,” I said, feeling my cheeks burn as I remembered the way Wynter had leaned in, his face so close to mine, his voice soft as his wet shirt soaked us. “We were just… I don’t know. talking and then I spilled water on him and one thing led to another and then he had me in his arms asking for my first kiss … it justhappened.”
Remi and Sydney both screamed, and I jumped, nearly spilling my tea.
“Are you serious right now?” Sydney demanded. “That’s like a movie-level kiss. Like Lara Jean from To All the boys I’ve loved before level.Whois this guy, and what has he done with Wynter?”
“He’s still Wynter,” I said, laughing a little despite my embarrassment. “He was just… actually into me for once.”
“If I’m being entirely honest, I thought that you were being a tad bit delusional on this pursuit but seeing it actually fall into place is quite impressive. I raised you well Yesoh Yeo.” Sydney applauded. “is the diary actually helping?”
“Honestly, it’s helped a lot with knowing what to say knowing what he likes and doesn’t like,” I explained.
“He canneverfind out you read that shit Soh. I’m serious it wouldn’t end well. It’s just going to have to be one of those things you keep to yourself until the end of time.” Sydney spoke.
“You are going to have to take it to the grave, I fear.” Remi contemplated. “Although I am curious as to how he would react, is Wynter the type to flip out and get angry?”
“Wynter rarely shows any intense emotion.” Sydney reflected. “he’s kind of like Baymax from Big Hero Six. I can’t even imagine him angry.”
“Clearly you don’t remember Summer 16 very well,” I recalled.
“Daily reminder that noteveryonekeeps a 700 page detailed file of every interaction we had with him.” Sydney scolded. “What happened then anyway?”
“When he foundtheletters, the ones between Hannah and um… Jiwon.” I reminded her clearing my throat.
“Wait who’s—” Remi spoke but I knew to interrupt her before she asked questions that we weren’t ready to answer at four in the afternoon. Let alone ever.
“Hannah! Hannah is, my cousin, she was Wyn’s first girlfriend.” Sydney diverted the question.
“They never dated don’t say that,” I grumbled looking down.
“My bad, she’s the girl who popped his cherry and Yesoh refuses to get over it or acknowledge that fact since.” Sydney cleared her throat and I rolled my eyes.
“Whatever.” I looked away.
“Imagine getting to say that you fucked Olympic gold medal champion, Wynter Kwon first.” Remi marvelled, “That’s the type of shit to have on your résumé and get the job immediately!”
“What’s Hannah doing lately anyways?” I wondered, “Has she become a stripper yet?”
